    i know this has literally nothing to do with this case, but i cannot emphasize enough how extremely helpful it is that y’all have subtitles.

      i don’t even have hearing issues and CC is still helpful for so many reasons. who cares if they are made with some initial AI assistance, i know for a fact that auto-CC software gets it wrong all the time and the audio on these is often Rough. there is definitely significant human labour that goes into correcting the machine outputs, captioning the bits that software simply can’t handle, etc. and using AI to get some of the baseline work done is just being efficient at this point.

      I gotta say the above comment has me upset. A few people, specifically women said he's "acting like an immature child" when the police told him his GF is dead.
      I think a lot of women start off believing the man is always guilty. And any hysteria or throes or despair over the loss of his significant other they believe is a well thought out display meant to convince police of his innocence.
      If that's the case, it's not "being childish and immature".

    • @Neremworld
      @Neremworld 27 วันที่ผ่านมา +21

      The reason why it was retried was because the judge ruled that the victim would not be on trial, as the defense wanted to just purely attack her instead of proving him not guilty. She disallowed it, and the appeals court found it to be the wrong decision in this specific case, but that the trial was otherwise fine (and the decision normally sound).
      So the second trial occured with him being allowed to impeach her character as much as he wanted. The juror stuff that EWU focused on is something I haven't ever seen brought up anywhere else.

      Drug interactions: Yeah alcohol is a drug, lots of people forget that. Doesn’t mix well with a lot of things.
      Don’t drive: Depends on the meds & depends on you. Some meds can make you lightheaded or loopy or whatever & you shouldn’t drive, but that may not happen (not all side effects hit everyone equally), it may happen but only for a week or so until you get used to the drug, or it may be that the entire time you’re on that medication you have the issue. The warning is there to tell you what you need to watch out for.
      And yes, you can get a DUI for driving while impaired even if the impairment is due to medications taken as prescribed. Generally they only do that if you cause an accident, though.

    After watching about 100 of these videos of guilty people, I completely believe this is the behavior of an innocent man. He loses his mind at the 911 operator begging them to come and then he's absolutely ELATED that she is alive, during the first part of the interview you can see what a good mood he's in. He knew that her being alive would clear him. Then when informed she was dead he had the appropriate utter shock, almost disbelief, then it turned to him being emotionally devastated. After he broke down, and quickly switched to rage that he had been purposely, deceitfully, led to believe she was OK. He has the outrage of someone who is being falsely accused. He clearly has a problem controlling his emotions but nobody is this good of an actor.

He keeps saying "You guys don't know what you would do in that situation" but we have records of hundreds of thousands of calls to the police where it's their first time calling 911 and reporting an emergency and they aren't as belligerent as him. 5 year old children would have communicated better hes a sociopath and a narcissist and clearly used to duping rubes like the fools in the comment section claiming he is innocent.

There was a show in the UK a couple of months ago detailing how easy it is for different juries to reach a different outcome with the same case and hearing exactly the same evidence, it was also detailing a murder trial.

      Heck, I've "only" suffered with major depression and anxiety and been on benzos (as prescribed) for a while, then had two double screwdrivers (so four shots of vodka, total) and felt absolutely wasted, and was glad I don't have alcoholism, despite it running in my family, because I can easily see how and why benzos are both incredibly helpful for managing anxiety and panic attacks, but also easily abused and addictive, tolerance and so ineffectiveness rises fast, increasing the risk of addiction even further.
      Just from that one night where I combined a pretty minor amount of alcohol with 15mg of a benzo, I could easily see how out of control by behaviour could have become, if it wasn't aware how loopy I felt, and asked to head home to bed! Especially when self-medicating legit mental health issues is so common for a reason. Numbing the pain, fear and trauma is what everyone wants to do in some way. Her particular diagnoses also predispose her to the wild swings in mood and behaviour, then she's mixing large amounts of uppers, downers, powerful prescription meds, street drugs that could be mixed with anything, and alcohol. Her own public social media posts confirm she is also possessive, jealous, controlling and not afraid to threaten violence, backed up with the deposition from the ex, that even her sister confirms she'd attacked her "once", and the video clip where she was the one to attack him first. That's a lot of evidence that weighs heavily in his favour, and it was all excluded from court!
      There are so many flaws with the investigation, the court proceedings, the misconduct by people in power such as the judge interfering with jury decisions to force a conviction... plenty of reasonable doubt, not nearly enough compelling evidence proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he murdered her. Which means he should have been given a FAIR trial - impossible with the same judge, and same all white jury judging a black man being portrayed as a violent criminal who "took the life of a lovely, pretty young white girl"... I'm sure part of his hysteria must have been terror, knowing how so many will immediately make a snap judgement and assume his guilt.
      Not to mention surpressing the evidence of her mental health and substance abuse history too. Based on the evidence seen here, I'd have to vote not guilty too. Dread to think how many more years he will lose of his freedom and life. Hopefully the innocence project will get involved.

    • @AcidOllie
      @AcidOllie 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

      100% agree with this. Xanax can make you do WILD things to yourself and is so dangerous when abused. As for the trial it's disgusting what can happen to jurors when they are bullied into making a decision. I hope Fontae gets another appeal properly heard. I have extensive knowledge of the justice system in the UK and it's similar to the US with regards to a jury. There was a show in the UK a couple of months ago detailing how easy it is for different juries to reach a different outcome with the same case and hearing exactly the same evidence, it was also detailing a murder trial. It showed how the jurors tried to manipulate the others into changing their minds. You should search for it on TH-cam it's fascinating.

      @adhirsingh8614 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +23

      Its insane, I'm from South Africa and we have a corrupt system like most but this would never happen if there was a second trial. Also, the evidence and studies, as well as expert testimonies pretty much proves his innocence. Her tweets were erratic and dangerous at best. His recollection of the incident with her sister was not something he needed to say at all but it just pointed in the direction of her being mentally unstable. Not to mention the eerily similar situation her ex boyfriend had experienced with her. All of this is just something a seasoned law professional can't ignore, let alone a jury of ordinary citizens. I can rant on for days about how this is messed up on so many levels but its just youtube comments so won't really make a difference.
      I'm also disgusted by the fact that people are literally laughing at his reaction to finding out she had passed away. It plays into the same narrative that juror was talking about, everyone wanted him to be guilty, regardless of the evidence and expert testimonies.
      Regarding her drug use. I was prescribed a benzodiazepine med to deal with my anxiety. One day, I took literally one more than prescribed and blacked out. It was figured out by parents that I had taken my entire monthly quantity straight after I blacked out. I don't remember a single thing from that day, including getting in my car and driving to a friend, and having a serious accident on the way there. I can easily see how she could get into the position of doing what he claimed she did, considering she was pretty much walking with a drug dealer's supply in her bloodstream.
      I hope he is innocent and gets justice one day.
      PS: I am off benzodiazepines, and will never touch it again.

There is no way someone stabs themselves in the sternum multiple times in front of you and then you call your homeboy first and then the police and proceed to not give any information to the dispatcher... He keeps saying "You guys don't know what you would do in that situation" but we have records of hundreds of thousands of calls to the police where it's their first time calling 911 and reporting an emergency and they aren't as belligerent as him. 5 year old children would have communicated better hes a sociopath and a narcissist and clearly used to duping rubes like the fools in the comment section claiming he is innocent. That little fake tantrum and the weird segway into a supposed mob run police force and justice system in the city targeting him is such pure bullshit.

    I’ve never seen a guilty person react that hysterically at a loss of someone. Samantha had alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, benzodiazepines, Prozac, and other medications in her system. She had a significant history of mental illness, toxic relationships, threats of self harm, and was not in a stable state of mind at the time of her death. I wholeheartedly believe he is innocent.

      His behavior in the interview didn't really reflect what I usually see in guilty people either. He was super relaxed, open, relieved when he heard she was ok. Usually when hearing a victim is going to make it, guilty suspects I've seen usually fake relief but close themselves off - but he started saying he never wants to see her again and remains open.
      I'd say the only type of person who could pull this off would be a psychopath or a sociopath, but there would be signs of that in his everyday life... Im only halfway thru this video typing this so maybe there are... but if he's lying, then he missed his call as an actor.

    Also, in the video he recorded just before the altercation, he clearly was telling her calmly to leave while she was sitting on the floor - then she stood up and attacked him after.... So firstly, he did try to get her to leave in a rational manner . Secondly, Why would he record a video if he was planning on murdering her? It just doesn't make sense to me that he would first ask her to leave AND be recording it, if he had any plans of stabbing her. She could have got up and left and nothing would have happened...

      You only get a different judge if it can be proven that the judge's mistake was made out of malice. Note, EWU completely skips over exactly what got a retrial: Namely, her decision that the defense can't attack the victim's character. IT wasn't seen as a malicious mistake.
      It was enough to get a retrial. He was convicted again, and appealed once more, and it was denied.
      It's notable that the appeal was over his desire to suppress statements he made to the police that were instrumental in his second conviction.

    Good job mentioning _why_ people should ask for a lawyer. It is so much more important than people think.
    Asking for a lawyer is _more_ important than exercising your right to silence (although both extremely important, of course). Why? Because a lawyer helps you merely by asking for one. Just like this video says, if you ask for a lawyer, questioning must cease and if any questioning continues, anything said will not come into court. So merely by asking for a lawyer, before you even physically have one, you have done yourself a huge favor. Ask for a lawyer right away, and unequivocally. Not “I think I should have a lawyer 🤔 “ or “maybe I should get a lawyer.” No that won’t cut it. Say it unequivocally-I am not willing to answer questions without a lawyer.

      This seems like common sense but that's not the most efficient way to handle emergencies when you are dealing with more than one emergency at a time.

      No, it should be civilians common knowledge that once you call and give details, they send help. Dispatch will not send officers blind into any scene, they need to know how many people are hurt, what injuries, how many people are in the house, where the weapon is, etc. This is so officers don't respond to save someone and get ambushed and killed. When you call 911 and give an address, help will be sent, but you absolutely have to answer questions and it won't slow down the help. The general public is just too stupid.
